This updates the qcow2 specification to cover version 3. It contains the
following changes:
- Added compatible/incompatible/auto-clear feature bits plus an optional
feature name table to allow useful error messages even if an older
version doesn't know some feature at all.
- Configurable refcount width. If you don't want to use internal
snapshots, make refcounts one bit and save cache space and I/O.
- Zero cluster flags. This allows discard even with a backing file that
doesn't contain zeros. It is also useful for copy-on-read/image
streaming, as you'll want to keep sparseness without accessing the
remote image for an unallocated cluster all the time.
- Fixed internal snapshot metadata to use 64 bit VM state size. You
can't save a snapshot of a VM with >= 4 GB RAM today.
- Extended internal snapshot metadata to contain the disk size, so that
resizing images that have snapshots can be allowed in the future.

The PCI hotplug eject register has always returned 0, so let's redefine
it as a hotplug feature register. The existing model of using separate
up & down read-only registers and an eject via write to this register
becomes the base implementation. As we make use of new interfaces we'll
set bits here to allow the BIOS and AML implementation to optimize for
the platform implementation.

The write side of these registers is never used and actually can't be
used as defined because any read/modify/write sequence from the guest
potentially races with qemu. Drop the write support and define these
as read-only registers.

Right now, the semantics of next_list are complicated. The caller must:
* call start_list
* call next_list for each element *including the first*
* on the first call to next_list, the second argument should point to
NULL and the result is the head of the list. On subsequent calls,
the second argument should point to the last node (last result of
next_list) and next_list itself tacks the element at the tail of the
list.
This works for both input and output visitor, but having the visitor
write memory when it is only reading the list is ugly. Plus, relying
on *list to detect the first call is tricky and undocumented.
We can initialize so->entry in next_list instead of start_list, leaving
it NULL in start_list. This way next_list sees clearly whether it is
on the first call---as a bonus, it discriminates the cases based on
internal state of the visitor rather than external state. We can
also pull the assignment of the list head from generated code up to
next_list.

- add an "is_ram" flag to SaveStateEntry;
- register_savevm_live sets is_ram for live_savevm devices;
- introduce a "xen-save-devices-state" QAPI command that can be used to save
the state of all devices, but not the RAM or the block devices of the
VM.
Changes in v8:
- rename save-devices-state to xen-save-devices-state.
Changes in v7:
- rename save_devices to save-devices-state.
Changes in v6:
- remove the is_ram parameter from register_savevm_live and sets is_ram
if the device is a live_savevm device;
- introduce save_devices as a QAPI command, write a better description
for it;
- fix CODING_STYLE;
- introduce a new doc to explain the save format used by save_devices.

Adds a 'TRACE_${NAME}_ENABLED' preprocessor define for each tracing event in
"trace.h".
This lets the user conditionally compile code with a relatively high execution
cost that is only necessary when producing the tracing information for an event
that is enabled.
Note that events using this define will probably have the "disable" property by
default, in order to avoid such costs on regular builds.
